bread box...

i inherited my love for antiques and vintage finds...my parents have taken me to antique stores my entire life. i spent many saturdays wondering around the huge warehouses at lakewood and scotts...unfortunately, i could have cared less at the time...it pains me to think about it. i would kill to be able to go to lakewood now (may it rest in peace)!

for christmas and my birthday a couple of years ago, my mom and dad gave me a vintage bread box and flour tin. i adore them. i have always wanted one b/c that is where we always kept our bread growing up. i can't wait until i have a kitchen with open cabinetry where i can really show them off....but in the mean time, i'll enjoy them sitting on my counter and giving me thoughts of home.

Although I'm young I too think of all the times my mom dragged me to the antique stores and i missed all these fabulous finds. Those kitchens look fabulous and love the look of those bread boxes. I'm torn between modern design and vintage design..I feel my place will be rather eclectic. great post.

we have an awesome antique store back home. The women who run it are pros. They actually travel all over the south, east coast, and some out west. Their finds are amazing, and I want to take it all home with me!

Love those cabinets, the farmhouse sink, and that hugechalkboard....love it!!!

okay, I was just about to post about these! I love them! I saw one a few weeks ago, but didn't want to spend the money. I want to say it was $70. was that too much? a good deal? I don't really have a frame of reference on these guys.

i have a new bread box i got at Tuesday Morning a few years ago. It had one tiny dent and I got it for around 11.00...i didn't mind the dent...made it look older! love the 2nd picture of heather chadduck's kitchen!

I love that kitchen!....I have a bright red really big bread box that I use in the kids playroom...it is full of alot of stuffed little animals...so little time for antiquing now...kids sport, birthday parties, etc. on the weekend...hope my girls grow up to like antiquing.
